Review

filler, but good filler

The middle part of the three episode shows how things have begun to change on the show. Ten minutes into the episode, the detectives learn that the murder of Katherine Goodrich is not an isolated incident when a second body is found in a similar place (a dumpster behind a church ) stripped naked wearing white cotton gloves. Homicide has just premiered its first serial killer. Considering that murder is the business of the show, maybe this shouldn’t come as a shock but it might strain some sensibilities that Baltimore would be home to so many of them. This isn’t evident right now. Another change will happen when we learn that Gaffney has made a critical error in securing the crime scene. We see the mans true colors as he demonstrates to Russert that he is not only a racist but a sexist when she reassigns the case. After this example Gaffney is gone from the homicide unit.
